There are different steps to follow to use a tax file (.tax) versus a PDF. Your Mac should be able to convert the 2024 return in either format for use with the 2025 Mac program. Please see this article, and this one for PDF.
I have also found that even though the 2024 return doesn't show in the window that TurboTax provides for you to select from, if it's on the Mac, you can open a Finder window, select it there and then copy it to the TurboTax window.
